Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Chicago Typewriter S1E16 (The End and Beginning).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
No guessing or inventing plot points.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Format: Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 280-380 words.
Input Data:
Synopsis: Soo-hyeon learns Hwi-young was captured and killed. She goes her own ways to execute the wrongdoers. She assassinates every betrayer, including Shin Yool. In the present, Ji-no finds out how he was killed in his past life and is shocked. Ji-no's body keeps flickering, signaling it is almost time for him to leave.
Sources: Series is 16 episodes, aired on tvN starting April 22, 2017. Directed by Park Shin-woo. Cast includes Eugene, Yoo Ah-in, Lim Soo-jung, Ko Kyung-pyo.
Episode Title: The End and Beginning.
Past Timeline: Soo-hyeon learns Hwi-young was captured and killed. She pursues the wrongdoers. She assassinates every betrayer, including Shin Yool.
Present Timeline: Ji-no discovers how he was killed in his past life, which causes him shock. Ji-no's body flickers, indicating it is almost time for him to leave.
Series Context: 16-episode drama.
The synopsis is very short. The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without being extremely repetitive or adding "fluff" that violates the "no inventing" rule.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict: The synopsis provided is roughly 60 words. To reach 280 words using only these facts without inventing anything is mathematically impossible unless I repeat the same facts multiple times in different ways, which violates "original, neutral, encyclopedic prose."
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided in the sources (director, cast, airing info) to pad the word count while strictly adhering to the "no inventing" rule. However, the prompt says "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap". A recap focuses on the episode content.
